Paternoster

A paternoster is similar to an elevator, but the cabins don't stop at specific floors, they just slowly loop around in cirlces.

In this small game, it is your job to help the passengers safely enter and exit the paternoster cabins. This might grow into a bigger challenge as more passengers want to ride the paternoster.
